"Burchkardt portrayed ancient Greek culture as an aristocratic world based on ruthless competition for honor, which led, in
turn, to a tyrannous state with minimal freedoms ... Athenian democracy provided a forum where dangerous demagogues could
bend the masses to their will and where the individual could co little to resist the decisions of the demos."--Jacket

"Gustave LeBon's The Crowd is not only a classic, but one of the best-selling scientific books in social psychology and collective
behavior ever written. Here, LeBon analyzes the nature of crowds and their role in political movements. He presents crowd
behavior as a problem of science and power, a natural phenomenon with practical implications. Originally published in 1895,
LeBon's book was the first to expand the scope of inquiry beyond criminal crowds to include all possible kinds of collective
phenomena. Its continuing significance is evident even in the Los Angeles riots of 1992 in which LeBon's theories were cited
in testimony."--BOOK JACKET. "LeBon emphasizes the various areas of modern life where crowd behavior holds sway, particularly
political upheavals. He focuses on electoral campaigns, parliaments, juries, labor agitation, and street demonstrations. At
the same time, his treatment of crowds is far from complimentary. In a new introduction to this edition, Robert A. Nye presents
a broad analytical understanding of the relationship between power and knowledge in crowd theory. He also discusses the historical
circumstances and the various personalities who have shaped our understanding of crowds. Nye emphasizes The Crowd's continuing
usefulness to cultural historians, psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists. He also places LeBon in a rich tradition
of European social theory."--Jacket
